Radio waves are energy. Electromagnetic energy to be exact. The amount of energy a radio wave has will depend on the amount of power the transmitter has, the amount of amplification, the quality of the cable connecting it to the antenna and finally the antenna. The amount of energy is usually measured in watts.

Which EM waves can carry television signals?

Radio waves. Low frequency.


Wave that do not require matter to carry energy?

Most waves all require something with mass to be transmitted. However, electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of photons, which are massless. Since photons are massless, they are not considered matter, but they do indeed carry energy. (This is why something feels warmer when the sun shines on it.) Electromagnetic waves range anywhere from radio waves, microwaves, and the common visible light waves, to x rays, and gamma rays.


If wave amplitudes are equal will high-frequency waves carry more or less energy than low-frequency waves?

if wave amplitudes are equal ,will high frequency waves carry more or less energy than low frequency waves


Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?

Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.


What 2 forms of energy are created by waves?

No form of energy is ever created, you can only change one form into another. Waves come in many forms, and all of them carry energy, which can be transformed into other kinds of energy. Water waves, for instance, carry kinetic energy which can drive a generator to produce electrical energy, as well as waste heat energy. Light energy travels as waves, and this can be changed by a solar cell into electrical energy, or by a plant into chemical energy.

What do waves carry or transfer?

Waves can carry energy and information across space. The type of wave determines what exactly is being carried - for example, sound waves carry energy that we perceive as sound, while electromagnetic waves carry energy and information in the form of light or radio signals.


What is the lowest energy wave?

Radio waves are the lowest energy waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have long wavelengths and carry less energy compared to other types of waves like visible light or X-rays.


What is the transformation of energy of battery-operated radio?

In a battery-operated radio, electrical energy from the battery is transformed into electromagnetic waves by the transmitter circuit. These waves carry the audio signal to the radio's receiver, where they are converted back into sound waves that we can hear through the speaker.


What do waves carry not matter?

Which of following describe(s) a way in which radio waves can carry energy?

Radio waves carry energy through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy can be detected and converted into electrical signals by antennas, for example in radios or wifi routers.


How are radio waves related to photons?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that consists of photons. Photons are the smallest unit of light and carry energy. When radio waves are transmitted, they are made up of photons traveling through space, carrying information and energy.


Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.


What long wavelength have energy?

Radio waves have long wavelengths and carry energy that can be used for communication, such as radio and television broadcasting. These waves are also used for various types of radar and remote sensing applications.


The energy produced by elctromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy can be transferred through space and can be converted into various forms, such as heat or electricity, when it interacts with matter. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
